Coyoacán Reopens Paola Espinosa Pool, Adding Capacity for 2,000 Monthly Users

The Paola Espinosa swimming pool in Coyoacán, Mexico City, has reopened its doors after years of closure due to administrative hurdles. The borough celebrated the reinauguration of the facility, which is now the ninth public pool in the area and is expected to serve approximately 2,000 users per month.

The pool, named in honor of Mexican Olympic diving medalist Paola Espinosa, was originally built about a decade ago. However, administrative issues led to its closure, preventing it from offering services to the public. The local administration undertook a legal strategy to resolve outstanding matters, particularly concerning the property's possession, which was not initially under the borough's jurisdiction.

“

Today we are reopening these facilities with the objective of adding another swimming pool to the sports infrastructure of the borough, one of the best for this sport which is in high demand as it is for all ages. In Coyoacán we will continue working to continue the transformation of Coyoacán, to change the face of the borough as we have done in more than four years of results. We are building a legacy with the citizens and this swimming pool is part of it.

With support from the Mexico City government, Coyoacán secured the pool's "use, benefit, and exploitation" through a process that took about six months. This legal acquisition allows the facility to formally integrate into the borough's sports infrastructure. The administration highlighted its commitment to transforming Coyoacán, emphasizing that the pool is part of a larger legacy being built with its citizens.

Upon its reopening, the Paola Espinosa pool aims to significantly boost the borough's capacity for aquatic sports. Once fully operational, the total number of people who can be served for swimming activities in Coyoacán is projected to exceed 11,000 per month, enhancing recreational opportunities for residents of all ages.

“

With this process, a new facility is formally and legally added to Coyoacán's sports infrastructure, which is among the best. Approximately two thousand people can be served here starting in mid-July, which will bring the total number of people served for this sport (swimming alone) in the borough to more than 11,000.
